Can you recommend the brands of COQ10 which give the best absorption as the prices vary a lot and I can see that good absorption is paramount to the efficacy of the vitamin

Not a lot but it is important for energy.

I trust the Lamberts Healthcare brand (no commercial interest). For several years , I had my CoQ10 level tested (simple blood test posted to BioLab London & arranged by my Naturopath) every 6 months so could see the absorption confirmed at different dose levels.

Incidentally, the Naturopath said to stop AF I needed my Red Cell Magnesium and Co Q10 to be in the top quartile of the normal range, hence the testing. I got the CoQ10 to the top of the range but can't shift the Mg level from the bottom quartile 🤔.

I buy from Healthspan - I’ve used them for years and thoroughly recommend. I actually buy Ubiqinal which is apparently more easily absorbed. You can find them on line.

I also buy from Healthspan as their prices are well below those in shops and they make a point of their high quality.

I like the fact that they seem ethical about their sources. I've also found them very helpful if you have a query - even on one occasion telling me that I didn't need to take one particular supplement because I was already taking something that covered it.

I am using Qunol liquid. There are cheaper brands but this comes highly recommended with a faster absorption I am told. Amazon has some good deals make sure you look at all the postings for it because there are different ones I don’t understand why but it can make a difference with price
